What conservatives want is nice things for themselves and anybody in their tribe, and everybody else can go die in a fire. So, for example, what Dan Quayle wants is for his own family and tribe to have access to abortions, but he still absolutely wants to make sure that the "wrong sort of people" can't have them. Jeb doesn't give a flying fuck about anybody else's personal problems relating to immigration. If he can find a way to make sure he and his wife are fine, he will cheerfully boot everybody else out of the country.

(15,445 posts)4. Agree. One of the best "New Rules" segments I've ever seen.
The best kind of mordant humor with underlying truth. (And, he kept the obsenities to a minimum.)

But, the rest was spot-on.
